FIGURE 1 Figure 1, shown therein is a perspective illustration depicting a welder 12 wearing conventional arc welding safety equipment 14 for the face and eyes 18. Welders 12 are constrained by the equipment which is designed to provide them with a certain level of safety. The welder 12 must jerk the protective face shield 14 down while simultaneously trying to start the arc 20, keeping in mind the location of the work piece 16. FIGURE 2 Figure 2, shown therein is a perspective view of the possible danger of flash to the eyes 18 of a welder 12. If the welder’s protective face shield 14 is not down while starting the arc 20, a dangerous flash 22 may occur to the welder’s eyes 18. FIGURE 3 Figure 3, shown therein is a partial view of a welder 12 wearing an illuminated lens helmet of the present invention 10. The illuminated lens 24 is illuminated by multiple lens lights 34 controlled by a time delay button 26. The illuminated lens 24 is activated prior to the ignition of the arc. An on/off switch 28 is shown along with the head band 30 which holds the present invention 10 onto the head 32 of the user 12. FIGURE 4 Figure 4, shown therein is a perspective view of a welder 12 wearing an illuminated lens helmet of the present invention 10. The welder’s helmet 36 is in the down position, the illuminated light 34 is on and the arc 20 is ignited. Head band 30 is also shown. FIGURE 5 Figure 5, shown therein is a perspective view of a welder 12 wearing an illuminated lens helmet 10. The helmet 36 does not need to be jerked down since it will be in place and the welder 12 can see through the illuminated lens 24, prior to welding. Head band 30 is also shown. FIGURE 6 Figure 6, shown therein is a perspective view of a welder 12 being fitted with the illuminated lens helmet 10. The illuminated lens helmet 10 is attached to the welder’s head 32 by means of an adjustable head band 30 having size adjustment means 38. When the illuminated lens helmet is worn by a welder 12, it provides light for the welder to see by until the arc is started. The multiple lens lights 34 mounts to the face shield 36 around the viewing lens 24. Lens light 34 is controlled by an on/off button 28, as illustrated, on the face shield 36. The light has a timer 26 which will allow the welder 12 to turn the lens light on and get in place. After a pre-determine length of time, the welder 12 should have started the arc and can see the work by arc light. FIGURE 7 Figure 7, shown therein is a perspective illustration depicting a welder 12 wearing the illuminated lens helmet of the present invention 10. The illuminated lens helmet 10 is attached to the welder’s head by means of an adjustable head band. When the light illuminated lens helmet is worn by a welder 12, it provides light for the welder to see by until the arc is started. The lights 34 mount to the shield or lens 24 around the viewing lens. The light is controlled by an on/off button 28, as illustrated, on the face shield. The light 34 has a timer 26 which will allow the welder to turn the lens light 34 on and get in place. After a pre-determine length of time, the welder 12 should have started the arc and can see the work by the arc light. FIGURE 8 Figure 8, shown therein is a perspective view of the illuminated lens helmet of the present invention 10. Depicted are the lights 34 which illuminate the welding lens 24, the battery door 40, power switch 28, time delay button 26 and adjustable head band 30. The beams of lights 34 travel parallel to the plane of lens 24 to avoid glares and/or reflections. Also shown is rectangular frame 46 mounted into the wall of the helmet 36 at eye level having the lights 34 and battery door 40 mounted therein. FIGURE 9 Figure 9, shown therein is a rear view of the illuminated lens helmet of the present invention 10. Depicted are the lights 34 which illuminate the welding lens 24, the battery compartment 42, the power switch 28, time delay button 26 and adjustable head band 30 for securing the helmet to the head of the welder. Size adjustment means 38 is also shown along with appropriate electrical connection means 44, e.g., wire, for electrically connecting all electrical components of the present invention. Frame 46 is also shown. FIGURE 10 Figure 10, shown therein is a side view of the illuminated lens helmet 36 of the present invention 10. Depicting the shape of the illuminated lens helmet 36 from a side perspective, the adjustable head band 30 provides means for adjusting 38 the helmet to the welder’s head. The on/off switch 28 is also shown.
